First Friday Art Walk (March 4, 2016)

The First Friday Art Walk is a monthly
event held in downtown Bastrop on the first Friday of every month to celebrate
Bastrop's thriving art scene. This month, the First Friday Art Walk will be held on Friday, March 4th, from 5:30-8:30pm. Many downtown businesses, restaurants, and shops
will stay open late, and there will be refreshments, live music and entertainment, and beautiful local
artwork throughout historically hip downtown Bastrop. It's basically the art equivalent of a pub crawl. Think Paris, in jeans and boots.

High Cotton, 922 Main Street; complimentary "Cowboy Chili" and "South of the Border Sangria" along with 10% off framed Texas art work. More info here.

Main Street Café, 1006 Main Street; enjoy their full menu as well as ramen in miso dashi topped with mushrooms, pork tenderloin, soft boiled egg, and green onions. Plus, their bakery case will be stocked with delicious pies and Texas Independence Day and St. Patrick's Day themed cookies.

Lost Pines Art Bazaar, 603 Chestnut Street; celebrate Texas with a taste of Persia - enjoy tasty bites with homemade samples from several of their Persian cookbooks while exploring artwork from artists throughout Texas.
